Care of your pen's or other item purchases.

Caring for your beloved item(s) is actually pretty simple. In the case of acrylics, simply wipe or buff with a soft cloth similar to an eyeglass cloth available from your local eye center, or a buffing wheel.Same for wood, just wipe it off lightly and it should buff right up, in some cases though you may wish to polish your items. In this case, any high grade furniture polish will work (except for items intended for food consumption), simply apply a small amount of polish to your soft rag then rub it into the wood until the desired gloss is obtained.If you have a buffing wheel attached to a drill, drill press or lathe, that's even better.Then remove any excess from exposed metal parts.

For bowls, cups or plates that are intended for food consumption, Only use food safe finishes. Wood Turner's Finish is one, but you can also mix beeswax and mineral oil CAREFULLY, over a very mild heat, let the beeswax melt into the mineral oil and apply to the wood. Allowing the mix to get over 150 degrees will likely cause a fire.When the finished item (bowl, cup, plate) leaves here, it has already gone through several treatments of the beeswax & mineral oil.A good rule of thumb for treatment of these items is, Once a day for a week, Once a week for a month, and once a month for a year.This allows the wax and oil to get deep in the pores keeping food and other matter out. If you wish to treat your item with just oil after you get it, you can, just make sure that it is a food grade or food safe oil.If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
